the House.
Plans are for the complete moving of all furniture from everywhere
to places as yet unspecified.
Then we plan to make Cheryl's sewing room
into another bedroom.
After that we plan to build the House into a full-
Anyhow, top priority on our current list of things to do is the laundry
and writing this newsletter by Saturday.
